Mr Adams Oshiomhole, the National Chairman of the All Progress Congress (APC), says he is playing local politics because he does not want to be a leader that cannot win any election in his state.

Oshiomhole spoke on Saturday in Auchi, Edo State when he received some defectors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“I can’t leave local politics because I do not want to be a national chairman who can’t win any election in his state.

“Some people asked me why I am playing local politics as a national chairman and I told them that every politics is local. I don’t want to be an Abuja politician who cannot win my unit and ward election.

“I don’t want to be an Abuja politician because I am a national chairman and on the day of the election, I can’t win my unit. I don’t want to be a chairman who campaigns and win the election in other states and on election day I can’t win my unit or ward.

“If I don’t win my place, how will I deliver the president and how will I be a useful national chairman?
